We stayed for 5 nights. The apartment is stunning & when we arrived we thought we'd lucked out! It is beautifully furnished, spacious, clean and modern. The shower is particularly awesome!!
We also really appreciated being able to check out a few hours late due to late flight!
I think perhaps I have been spoilt by other Airbnb stays that have not been run as a business.... so the below could be completely normal....
There were no hand towels, no bottle of water or milk left for our late night arrival... no hand wash in the bathrooms, minimal kitchen equipment... and when I asked where the pans were - was told Sean didn't want cooking in the apartment. We're in Thailand - there are some great cheap eats nearby - but with a toddler and a baby - one of the reasons we chose the place was kitchen facilities as sometimes they're just too tired to go out for a meal. The washing machine was taken away on day 2 but will probably be replaced soon?!
I asked about a travel cot when I booked 3 months in advance.... Sean said he would try and sort one. My fault - I took this to mean he'd let me know if he couldn't provide one so I could book elsewhere. The day before we are arriving his colleague Seb messages me to say this will cost 1000baht (£22). Won't break the bank... but could buy one in the UK for that price.
So basically if you're a single / couple / group of adults with no 'crazy' requests... it's perfect. If you're booking for a family and have seen the lovely pictures of the playground in the building & swimming pool & think it looks ideal... maybe think again.
FYI As well as good Street food... there is also 'The Corner' an AMAZING restaurant 5 mins walk away - delicious Thai & Mediterranean food!
